YAP - YOUTH ARTS IN THREE TOWNS
The Center for Community Arts free Saturday night Youth Arts Program (YAP) returns January 19, 2008 in Cape May, Wildwood and Lower Township with a series of art projects for middle school students that share the theme of self exploration. Led by local artists Janet Payne, Amanda Vernon and Cheryl Crews, YAP offers professional-quality instruction and materials, along with a light supper, to students in grades 5 – 8. Advance registration is not required, but a parent/guardian permission slip must be signed the first time a youth attends.
Students may attend one, several or all 14 Saturdays through April. New participants can join in any weekend. The program runs 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. most Saturdays, with one day trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art on March 29 and no program March 22. YAP culminates with the Dolores Cheney Youth Arts Fair on May 3.
Participants choose from three locations: Cape May, Lyle Hall at the Cape May United Methodist Church (enter from ACME parking lot), Wildwood at Cape Assist, 3819 New Jersey Avenue Lower Township, and the Millman Center at 209 Bayshore Rd, Villas.
No experience is needed, so come hang out with friends, make new ones, and explore your creativity!
Activities include creating a dream journal (1/19), a silhouette (1/26), a self-portrait (2/2), and a print with your name (2/9). And that’s just the first month!
This program is made possible in part by funds from the Lower Cape Alliance, Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, and many generous businesses and individuals.
Consistent YAP participants are eligible for scholarships to CCA’s Summer Youth Arts Camp, a weekly art camp beginning in July.
